I am not really planning to do serious presentations because I think
it is a good time for us to just work on the stuff with a few people
that know it BUT, you could help a lot by making a few copies of the
standard and bringing them. I don't have a big printer and that would
really help. I'll try to get others to bring some extra copies too.
